Possible shower conversion?

Hey there, I hope this is the right sub!

I recently moved into an apartment with just a clawfoot tub, the angle of the walls is really steep (I’m in a converted attic) just wondering if there’s anything I can do to convert the tub into a shower (add a shower ring)

Thanks in advance!

Where to buy replacement feet for acrylic tub?

My Google search is not being helpful. This is a basic freestanding acrylic tub that is missing three of the load bearing “feet”. Does anyone know where you can buy them? I already went to Lowe’s and Home Depot and they were no help.

Alcove Tub - Help!

I'm looking for an alcove bathtub thats not acrylic because I read that it stains easily, and just feels cheap. Honestly, I don't take baths but I need something that will last and will look great over time. I don't mind spending $1k or so as long as its a great deal with a known brand. I'm having a hard time looking through all the tubs and finding one that is a good deal. Any help would be great, thanks!

Need to do at least a partial remodel of the shower - Shower tile suggestions?

We need to replace the subfloor under the shower, which means at least a partial remodel of the shower. Considering our options and wanted to get others thoughts. Current tiles are 24 x 48 and we may keep and just replace the first row, or considering a full remodel.

Two questions:

  1. Tile recommendations for shower. These one sfeels too large for the 36 x 48 shower. They also feel too bright white for the space.
  2. Tile or shower pan for shower floor?

Replacing floor - Tile or luxury vinyl plank?

Replacing the subfloor and had to demo the bathroom tile. Was initially going to replace with tile but trying to warm up the already dark bathroom. Is luxury vinyl plank a good option? Or should we stick with tile?

What backsplash is best for a bathroom?

I can't decide what to do with our guest bathroom backsplash. A neighbor was getting rid of a beautiful piece of marble which we cut and put in our bathroom to replace the brown 70's marble sink that was scallop shaped...

It looks great but I'm hesitant to install the pieces of marble backsplash. I feel like these are dated. It feels more clean and modern to do tile. But also, I don't feel like tiling haha. Thoughts?!

Bathroom Lighting issues

We are building a new master bathroom. The shower is about 6 feet by 4 feet wide with a square skylight centered in it that's about 3 feet square I think. Right now there are no lights directly in the shower, but the contractor put a light / blower combo just outside which seems awkward.

I'm including a video which may help a little and a quick markup of the plans. There will be a lot of lighting going down the center of the bathroom, so maybe it's enough, but I feel like the shower needs its own lights for night time. We can't put one in the middle because of the skylight. Would it be weird to put two lights in there that are about 1//5 to 1/4 of the length of the shower, on either side of the skylight opening? And if we do that should we move the fan at all? 

Would love any advice the community has. Thanks!

PS the board int he middle of the skylight area is going away and the rough-in for the rainfall head moved forward so the skylight area is clear. That could pose an issue with a light in that area too.

I am designing some bathroom accessories and need to offer color coordination.

What colors would not clash with most any color bathroom? What colors would be good for accent? What colors are currently popular? Thanks in advance

Help finding a replacement for this bathroom mirror

Where can I find an arch mirror like this? 16" wide x 24" tall with inset screws going through each corner of the glass. Doesn't have to be identical, just a good replacement

Installing Onyx collection panels

I am looking to redo my kids bathroom. My parents redid theirs a few years ago and they went with Onyx collection panels which I think look and feel really nice. They are much thicker than the cheap stuff I have seen in stores.

My question is, how difficult are there panels first to measure and get correct and second to install? My parents redid a bathroom a few years ago with the panels but had someone come in and do it for them. I'm fairly handy and have some man power but I don't want to get in over my head and blow $2K on panels just to screw it up. Has anyone installed these panels or anything similar that they could recommend?

Public Bathrooms Are a Nightmare

Why is it so hard to design a decent public restroom? Gaps in the stalls, sinks that don’t work, and the eternal hand dryer vs. paper towel debate. It’s 2024, can we figure this out already?

Bathroom humidity issues help - how can I lower?

Hi everyone,

I could really use some advice about an issue I'm having with a converted shower room. The space was originally a small storage room, but I renovated it into a shower room. Unfortunately, it now smells very musty, and the humidity levels are consistently high.

I recently bought a humidity tracker, and it usually reads between 60-70%, often on the higher end. I have an exhaust fan installed, and it seems to be working—when I hold a tissue near it, the fan sucks it in. However, leaving the fan on doesn't seem to lower the humidity at all.

I've attached photos of the shower room, the bath room exhaust, and the floorplan and layout.

I’m not sure what else to try to address this issue. Has anyone dealt with something similar or have suggestions for what I could do to reduce the humidity and get rid of the musty smell?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Remodel Suggestions

We are looking at remodeling this bathroom. Looking at suggestions on how to change the layout to make a larger walk-in shower while trying to keep a tub and a separate thrown room.

My fully remodeled bathroom

I had a very yellow 60’s bathroom with floor falling apart (I had to put boards over it so I didn’t fall through), one light, no electric sockets , and a fan that didn’t work, as well as an old wall heater that I thought might burn down my house if used. I was able to have it completely gutted and this is the final product. Also had to have all new water lines put in the house as the copper was starting to corrode and leak, some beams had to have rot removed and then reinforced, and all new lighting. Just wanted to share because it makes me smile 🥰 (a few things were fixed after this photo, like the toilet situation)

Frameless Panel (hinged?) for tub/shower combo

We are finishing a bathroom remodel. I'd like to put in a frameless door panel (maybe hinged) for a tub/shower combo. I understand a panel doesn't always hold in heat but it doesn't get very cold where I live. I have scoured the internet but can't really determine what brands are good. There is a crazy range in price and I'm not sure what a $800 door panel gets you versus one that is $250. I've seen some with an additional diagonal support bar that goes from the tub to the wall; does that help a lot with stability? A custom option isn't possible because we are in a bit of a time crunch. Any thoughts about brands or stores would be welcome. Thanks
